then you will love National Review, the fabulous fortnightly, available on paper and in the speedy and tree-friendly digital version. One (of many!) reasons to subscribe to NR is “The Week,” that favorite of sections which corrals dozens of biting editorials and “paragraphs” that lustily tip over sacred cows and gleefully mock liberal blowhards. Here’s a selection from the new January 30, 2006 issue:

Eliot Spitzer, New York State’s attorney general, is running for governor, but maybe he should also consider running for head of one of the five families. John Whitehead, a model Wall Street elder statesman, accused Spitzer of threatening him over the phone (Whitehead had publicly stuck up for Maurice Greenberg, an executive Spitzer was investigating): “Mr. Whitehead, it’s now a war between us and you’ve fired the first shot. I will be coming after you. You will pay the price. This is only the beginning, and you will pay dearly for what you have done.” All that was missing was the horse head. Spitzer at first denied the story, then admitted that he and Whitehead were “seeing things a bit differently.” Other instances of Spitzer’s tough talk surfaced: He has called yet another executive a “vampire,” and Mayor Giuliani a “dictator.” Keep it up, and he’ll be called “blowhard” and “bully,” then “loser.”

Certainly NR will be saying much more about Mr. Spitzer, and so many other insufferable liberals, throughout 2006.
